Farming on Breck-land. 



Stock appears to do well. Lincoln Red cattle may be seen 

 in good condition in the yards. The Large White pig has been 

 chosen and apparently justifies the choice, and the best sheep 

 on the farm are a cross between Suffolk ewes and Cotswold rams. 



fhe Methwold Experimental Farm may claim to be con- 

 siderably more than a venture that promises to return interest 

 upon capital, and to afford a considerable measure of useful 

 em[)loyment. It is a practical demonstration of the abimdant 

 possibilities possessed by a corner of England that has long 

 lain derelict and has been regarded as a proposition that will 

 never repay high farming. Evidence is already forthcoming 

 that neighbouring farmers are keenly interested in the various 

 experiments, and many of those who came to scoii, remained 

 to praise — and in some cases went home to imitate.
